Mr. Spike Jonze, I hope you read these comments because if you do I really want to ask if you know when the film will be released over here in Japan. The trailer at the head of the new Harry Potter film just said coming soon…

I’m a teary mess….seriously. Something about this….looking back at my own childhood and all the emotions, and now having 2 small boys of my own and trying to understand and respect their emotions….the trailers alone say so much already. Well, this film I know is brilliant. And both Maurice and Spike, you have expressed so much understanding and perspective….I feel like you are both wizards of the mind of a child. Cheers.

Glad it has Mr. Sendak’s “blessing” as I hope the magic of the book won’t be lost in special effects (I was disappointed with Polar Express). Very excited in anticipation to share the movies experience with my kids (as the book has been a staple in our home for 15 years).

Haha wow, you’re a bunch of heroes and magicians! :D
Your love for the project, the tenacity and resilience to bring this to the screen, even though the road seems to have been very bumpy and heartbreaking at times (read: big hollywood studios..) is aweinspiring! Thank you :)
